Starting Trouble...

Looking at some of my older pictures, it made me realize what a non-camera person I am. I didn't know much about cameras and photography to begin with and then to top it up, I married someone who is even less interested in taking pictures. One thing about my wife though, she loves being photographed.

I bought my first decent digital camera (okay it was on a free offer with something else) just about the time i got married. We have been snapping away our trips with that camera but one thing that annoyed me time and again was the fact that I hated the crap 3x optical zoom on the camera.

This time around I decided to change that and bought the Ricoh R7. Its still a compact but packs in a good 8.1 MP and a 7x Optical zoom on top of it. In addition to the 7x Optical zoom, it has an additional 4x Digital zoom. So, I am hoping I would now be able to bring those distant things closer. Overall, it seems to take great pictures even in bad light and the anti-shake system is great for an amateur like me.

I am hoping to use this blog to post any entries from my trips and hopefully some decent pictures along with it.
